Crafting 101

Well, June is over so this is my last post regarding teaching you everything (well, most everything) that I know about crocheting. To sum up what we’ve learned, hmmm, I taught you the basic stitches - single, double, half and triple crochet, you learned to chain and how to make several granny squares and several small projects. I hope that you had fun!

To end the month, I wanted to show you how your afghan should be looking after putting at least four squares together. I used four of my squares so far. You can see I still have my yarn attached to continue with more. The white is making the pink really pop! (You can see my youngest trying to get in the picture! He wants the afghan already. If he only realized it was pink!)
Sometimes it’s easier to make your afghan in strips. Like if I kept going, I’d add two more to the top two squares. I’d just continue on in strips. Once I got to where I wanted to stop, I’d make another strip. Once you do the strips, it’s easier to join along just one long side than going back and forth. But it’s totally up to you!

Give me a couple of weeks and hopefully I’ll be able to show you a complete afghan with all these different pink squares. It’ll be interesting to see! I hope that you will send me pictures of your completed afghan as well for all to see!

Tomorrow I will post a schedule of what we’ll be making and what we’ll be doing during the month of July with sewing! It’ll be fun! I hope you will join us!
